Rosacea is a fairly common skin issue that affects nearly 5% of the entire population. It can affect people aging 20 to 40. Normally, it begins in the early teens and then you have to deal with it for the rest of your life unless you make a dramatic lifestyle change or go for a professional Rosacea Treatment. There are many over the counter medicines which claim to treat Rosacea but many doctors suggest that these medicines don’t work.

A Holistic Approach
You must find a doctor who opts for a holistic approach when it comes to treating Rosacea instead of pushing you towards a specific treatment. Here is what you will be required to do:
• Make certain changes to your lifestyle; avoid certain foods and incorporate some others.
• Ask your doctor for certain medications to control the signs and symptoms.
• Treat your allergies; it’s the most important steps when it comes to treating Rosacea.
• Ask you dermatologist to recommend you certain lotions and creams

Signs and Symptoms
A tomato red face is regarded as the most common symptom of Rosacea but there are many other symptoms which people usually neglect. Here are all of the symptoms that you need to look out for:
• Redness on the center of the face; mainly nose and cheeks
• Visibility of broken blood vessels also known as spider veins
• Swelling of the skin and slight tingling sensation in the skin
• Extremely sensitive skin; Notice how your skin reacts to sun, skin care products and sweat
• Extremely dry and itchy skin
• Oily skin and breakouts
• Bumpy skin texture and large pores
• Plaques; also known as raised patches of skin
• Watery eyes; itching, redness and slight pain in the eyes
Note that it’s not necessary for all the symptoms to be present at once. Some people only experience redness of skin combined with one or two more symptoms. It’s important to look out for them and treat the condition before it gets worse.

Foods to Avoid
Food plays an important role when it comes to having a great skin. It is also important to eat healthy as Rosacea can flare up if you eat certain foods. A nutritionist can guide you better in this regard but here is a list of foods you must avoid at all costs;

Allergy Triggering Foods
If you have any kind of food allergies or any allergies, in particular, avoid the foods causing it or triggering it as it can worsen the symptoms of Rosacea as well. The most common foods that trigger allergies are gluten, seafood, dairy and some particular nuts. Get yourself tested and then avoid allergy-causing foods at all costs. Luckily, in this day and age, we have alternatives to everything. Markets are flooded with vegan meat and cheese cakes. Look out for those and you will never miss the old foods

Alcoholic and Caffeinated Beverages
Alcohol is bad for your health and for your skin. If you want an itch free, smooth skin, avoid alcohol. Same goes for coffee and tea. I know they are addicting and you cannot imagine your life without drinking a cup of warm coffee or tea in the morning. But if you are really serious about getting rid of a red, bumpy and itchy skin, you slowly need to part from your bad habits.

Processed Foods are a Big No No!
Processed foods have tons of chemicals and preservatives in them. Sugar and preservatives are the worst things you can put into your body if you are struggling with Rosacea. Limit sugary foods, stick to natural sugars such as fruits and fruit juices. There are plenty of natural sugar alternatives. Try to cook your food at home and refrain from instant noodles and packed sandwiches.

Fried Foods
Deep fried foods are unhealthy. No brainer! There is a reason why nutritionists prohibit you from eating a deep fried chicken and fries. It is extremely unhealthy for your immune system; it makes you gain weight, slows down your metabolic rate and flares up Rosacea.
Avoid these foods and you will definitely see a significant improvement in your skin. However, it is important to visit a dermatologist as soon as you began to see the symptoms of Rosacea.

Makeup is so important to women since it can make us more beautiful and confident. Some girls won’t even leave their houses without applying makeup. But not many of them know that removing makeup is as important as applying it. If you don’t remove your makeup appropriately, your skin will be damaged by makeup pigmentation, rough pores and acne.

1. You should use enough amount of makeup remover.

Makeup removing products of better effect are really expensive sometimes. And some of us would tend to use only a small amount of those expensive products so that every drop of it won’t be wasted when we remove the makeup. However, that is not enough, your makeup won’t be removed thoroughly with only such a little bit of remover. Especially when it comes to the important parts like lips and eyes, insufficient remover cream will lead to strong skin friction, which might even cause skin allergies eventually.

2. You should use a facial cleanser to wash the face after using the makeup remover.

Some girls think that their faces are clean enough after using the makeup remover and there is no need to use facial cleanser to wash their faces. Wrong thought! In fact, the pores of your skin won’t be clean enough and it will lead to acne problem if you don’t use facial cleanser. Therefore, remember that facial cleanser is essential to stop the dirty things being absorbed by your skin.

3. You should wipe the makeup with a cosmetic cotton gently.

Do not use much strength while using the cosmetic cottons with makeup remover to wipe your face. Some girls think that wiping the face with strong strength or patting the face can help to clean the skin thoroughly. They believe that it will bring a better effect when neutralize and decompose the makeup and remover fully in this way. But the truth is, this way might grow wrinkles in your face and I am not scaring you!

4. You should use special makeup removers in the lips and eyes area.

The skin of our lips and eyes area is usually more delicate and often has strong sensitivity, so it should be attached great importance in the process of removing makeup. Use the special removers for them, lip makeup remover for lips, and eyes makeup remover for eyes. It will be more effective to protect the skin of these parts. In this way, you can also prevent skin aging and wrinkles.

When it comes to the skin, everybody wants a beautiful, moisturized and healthy skin.

This is normal when you think that the skin is the mirror of the body and if the body is healthy so is your skin.

Yet, having a spotless, beautiful and healthy skin is not always possible. Spots, scars, dark patches, fine lines and wrinkles mark it along the time.

Probably the most annoying spots are by far the black ones, as well as those dark patches.

They are very anesthetic and can create real psychological complexes to those people having to cope with these problems.

Yet, no matter what treatment you choose, it is essential to know what that treatment presupposes and if you are ready to take the consequences (if side effects have been reported). One of the substances which is highly benefic for the skin and can effectively remove dark spots without affecting the cellular structure or damaging the skin is Vitamin C. This vitamin is great for removing any color imperfection as it gets actively involved in the production of melanin, inhibiting it. The melanin is the substance which offers the skin that dark tint, thus if less melanin is produced, the new layers of skin which will be revealed in some weeks after the treatment with Vitamin C will be whiter and in most cases will have the same color as the rest of the skin.

In most severe cases, more than one session of treatment with Vitamin C will be needed so that greater effects will be seen.

Water is the main source of moisture for the skin. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day and the chances that your skin will get spotted will be reduced significantly. In addition to that, the skin will be moisturized and will have a healthy, glowing look, while the apparition of fine lines will be diminished considerably.
